Abstract

A composite of I a prepreg made of a solid mixture of a reactive plastic resin and a reinforcing means in the form of a tissue or a fiber and II a removable release film comprising a multilayer structure of a) a release layer of at least one thermoplastic homo- or copolymer of α,β unsaturated olefins and at least one wax-like compound as a release additive, b) optionally an adhesion promoting layer, c) a layer of at least one thermoplastic polyamide homo- or copolymer, d) optionally an adhesion promoting layer, e) a release layer of at least one thermoplastic homo- or copolymer of α,β unsaturated olefins having a release coating based on a cured polysiloxane, f) a laminate adhesive layer, and g) a release layer of at least one thermoplastic polyester and a wax-like compound as a release additive.

Claims (24)

1. A composite comprising

I a prepreg made of a solid mixture of a reactive synthetic resin, a reinforcing material in the form of textile or of fiber, and optionally additives, in the form of an optionally rolled-up, continuous web and

II a removable release film comprising a multi-layer structure made of

a) directly adjoining the prepreg web, a release layer composed of at least one thermoplastic homo- or copolymer of α,β-unsaturated olefins, a waxy compound as release additive, and optionally other additives and auxiliaries,

b) optionally an adhesion-promoter layer,

c) a layer composed of at least one thermoplastic polyamide homo- or copolymer,

d) optionally an adhesion-promoter layer,

e) a release layer which is composed of at least one thermoplastic homo- or copolymer of α, β-unsaturated olefins, and which has a release coating based on a cured polysiloxane, or as alternative to the layer e) a sublaminate made of

e′) a layer composed of at least one thermoplastic homo- or copolymer of α,β-unsaturated olefins,

f) a lamination adhesive layer, and

g) a release layer which is composed of at least one thermoplastic polyester and one waxy compound as release additive, and optionally other additives and auxiliaries, or

g′) a release layer which is composed of at least one thermoplastic polyester, and which has a release coating based on a cured polysiloxane as alternative to the layer g) of the sublaminate.

2. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the prepreg I is composed of a solid mixture of a reactive synthetic resin, a reinforcing material in textile or fiber form, and additives.

3. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the prepreg I is composed of a solid mixture of a reactive synthetic resin, and a reinforcing material made of textile glass, additives in the form of reactive agents, accelerator, catalysts, and optionally α,β-unsaturated monomers, and optionally fillers.

4. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the release layer a), the layer e), and the layer e′) is composed of at least one thermoplastic homo- or copolymer of α,β-unsaturated olefins with melting point at least 125° C.

5. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the quantity present of the release additive in the layer a) and, respectively, the layer g) is from 1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the respective layer.

6. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the layers comprising release additive comprises a different quantity of release additive, or comprises the same quantity of release additive.

7. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the release additive is at least one waxy compound selected from the group consisting of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, long-chain amines, fatty acid esters, and fatty acid amides, where the softening point or melting point of these at atmospheric pressure is at least 30° C.

8. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer c) is composed of at least one thermoplastic, aliphatic, semiaromatic, or aromatic polyamide homo- or copolymer.

9. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the layers a), e), and e′) is composed of the same thermoplastic homo- or copolymers of α,β-unsaturated olefins.

10. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness of each of the layers a), e), and e′) is identical.

11. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the release layer g) and, respectively, g′) is composed of at least one thermoplastic polyester selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic, aliphatic, semiaromatic, or aromatic homo- and copolyesters.

12. The composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein after packaging the composite has a shelflife of at least 6 months.

13. A method for the production of a structural component for wind turbines, aircraft, ships, rail vehicles, sports products, or sports equipment, which comprises manufacturing said structural component with the composite of claim 1 .
